The Centre for Economic Performance (CEP) is producing a series of analyses of key policy issues in the May 2015 general election (http://cep.lse.ac.uk/election2015/). These briefings have been written by our expert researchers, who will be presenting some of their analysis of the UK's key campaign issues - including those the parties don't seem to want to talk about. The topics will include spending cuts and potential tax rises ('austerity'); living standards; education and skills; low productivity; business policies; and the housing crisis. The presentations and Q&A session (6-7:30pm) will be followed by a drinks reception.
